2 person attacks

Training with 2 person attacks (Futari dori) is a common form of Aikido practice. There are numerous syllabus techniques that can be practiced in these circumstances depending on the nature and the type of attack. Typically beginners practice with the ukes statically holding each arm under resistance.

As we progress to Aiki practice, formal syllabus technique is replaced with more free flowing and spontaneous responses. The emphasis is on Aiki principles rather than defined outcomes.
